The two charts illustrate the distributions among the destinations of graduate and postgraduate students who did not go into full-time careers after leaving their academic institutions in the UK in 2008.
It is apparent from the information that the majority of students, both graduate and postgraduate individuals, decided to further pursue their academic endeavors after they graduated from their previous educational programs. This is evidenced by 29,665 and 2,725 of graduate and postgraduate students, respectively, opting for further education.
Part-time jobs were the second-leading sectors in which the students engaged after they had accomplished their degrees. This can be observed by the figures of 17,735 and 2,535 students of graduates and postgraduates, respectively, choosing part-time professions after they left their academic colleges.
Unfortunately, the data reveals that a significant portion of those graduated students encountered unemployment. According to the charts, there were 16,235 graduate and 1,625 postgraduate students who could not find a job after they had obtained their degrees.
It is also intriguing that 3,500 and 345 students of graduate and postgraduate, respectively, decided to allocate their time dedicated to become volunteers. Additionally, it can be observed that the number of graduate students on which these studies were performed was ten times that of postgraduates, which is evidenced by the figures of 30,000 and 3,000 graduate and postgraduate students, respectively.
